Look for a Dahua or Hikvision DVR and cameras. Put the DVR (and cameras if they are IP) on its own isolated subnet that doesn't have any internet access. Use a VPN to access it remotely.
Don't buy them from amazon, buy from one of their authorized distributors. I learned that the hard way when I ended up with a grey market camera with no warranty or firmware updates.
WiFi cameras are much easier to jam if someone wants to break in without being recorded. Don't use them if you can run a cable.
DoH is tricky to block since it's just using https on port 443. The only options are blocklists of known servers and attempting to detect it with deep packet inspection.
You could get a bunch of the cheap EEPROM type smart cards and use them to launch programs or play music or something.
Yeah, there's no way I'm buying an internet connected fridge with a giant screen.
Just require any new operating systems to support 15 year old hardware. We should require manufacturers to provide 15 years of UEFI and firmware updates too.
Any decent password manager should handle generating TOTP codes. A phone is not needed for that.
There's a huge difference between e-mail and a site that is specifically designed to keep people addicted.
The warning won't do anything though. I would be surprised if it takes more than a day before ublock origin has a filter to hide it.
I haven't really noticed any obvious bot activity, at least in the communities that I'm subscribed to. I'm sure there is probably some, but it's nothing like reddit.
There aren't many VPN providers that have port forwarding and allow P2P. Proton is about the only choice if you want to seed.
I will never buy any of their devices. I prefer to self host my own ad free streaming using open source software.
Higher resolutions and sample rates only matter when the recordings are going to be edited.
Just remember, a seedbox or VPN is a lot cheaper than a single streaming subscription.
